 Yep, that's
me. (Dammit! Why did I cut my hair?)
Hangin around the studio in just my
swim-shorts. After all, the beach is only 5 mins
away!

For all you
folks who never heard of me, I'm nobody
famous! Just some guy with "ears" and
real passion for this work plus over 20 years
experience as Singer, Songwriter, Bassist, Engineer, Producer.
.....................Nothing more, nothing less.
Think of it! If I were
some "name" guy from perhaps, some "one hit
wonder band" turned producer; would this prove I could
capture that "thing" that makes your band or project great? NO!
The fact is, you are only as good as your last
session! Period! (Includes
me!)
Get this!
ALL my gear is PAID FOR! I
have NO kids, NO wife, NO
debt, and NO distractions other than my obsession with
clean, crisp, & PHATT production for your project!
...what else is there?
One of
these days I shall purge my archives to
assemble a pictoral history & commentary of people &
projects I have worked with. But, I'm in no hurry...
You will doubtless be amazed (or repulsed?) with
all the "characters" I've been involved
with...
Why no slick
studio pics? One truly great irony, to
be sure... Frankly speaking, I have designed and built many beautiful studios for clients who desire the finest. Alas,
mine was/is a "work in progress" for many conceptual
ideas/designs and/or experiments. Besides, there's usually a buncha
chords, amps, drums, tape-machines, and "stuff" laying around during
& between sessions.
Yes, yes! I have seen the other
slick-looking studios and their respective
"websites"! Some of these guys spend alot of
CA$H on construction & websites plus flashy
"name-brand" gear so it will LOOK & FEEL
like a Real-Pro-Studio?! Whoah;
awsome Dude!
ALL SHOW & NO
GO? Sounds like my
EX-girlfriend... Awe, maybe
I'm jealous? You can decide that for yourself,
right? There's an old saying in the
biz that is relevant; even today: "TAPE DON'T LIE!"
Now you know why it's an OLD saying...
...the word
according to Jerry :)
One last thing:
My preference is to work with bands
& solo artists that have a borderline "sick passion" for
their sound & music. Fortunately, I am in an enviable
position; I pick/choose with whom I work. If you want a
producer/studio that demands as much from you as you do
from them; you will LOVE this set up...
The rest of you "clueless-nitwits"
can F-off; go bore someone else!
